2015/16 Ski Trip Planning..

[dmw]

I was out there a few weeks ago. The best approach I found was a credit card and a blindfold.

please don't laugh at me but .... anyone know best options for discount tickets in CO, specifically Breckenridge, for April?

Liftopia has nothing.

yes - a basin and loveland are cheaper, i know.

Maybe look for a ski and stay package. Some places will give you a discount if you agree to go on a sales pitch tour. Like this place...

I stayed there once, but didn't do the tour. So not sure how annoying it is. We were each offered a free ticket at the time, like 10 years ago.

I did do the tour and got the 2 tickets and got a room on the cheap (75 a night for the condo) also got more tix for $75 a piece. The tour was at 4pm one day. It last about an 1-1:30. Actually never left the guys office. He knew we weren't buying and didn't want to waste too much time on us.

Set it up with Skierstef

Another way is to blow someone with an epic pass and get their buddy passes.

already booked hotel and will only be in town for 1 night so the meeting won't work for us.

I can get $60 copper tix thru my job, but I'd need your cc info. If you're comfortable with that, PM me.

You can also get copper BOGOs which come out to about $60 by filling up at a Shell gas station in Denver

You only skiing 1 day or both days?

Are you staying in Denver 1 night then driving to Breck?

I guess I am asking what is your itinerary?

That's the one. Also $59 Jay peak (which is the same as just reloading, but let's you pay the reload rate for the first ticket of the year)

Saturday will be very tiring for you. Sunday should be better.

Hopefully traffic is better in April on Saturday mornings than it is earlier in the season.
